Changes

'''Razia Said is a Malagasy born musician who grew up in [[Antalaha]] and lived in Madagascar until age of seven. She currently lives in New York where she performs regularly. Her latest music collection, Zebu Nation, was inspired by a return visit to her country and is a mixture of western and Malagasy rhythms and sounds. The lyrics of songs such as ''Mifohaz'', meaning ''Wake up'' in Malagasy language, sends a clear message to the world about the ongoing environmental destruction that is happening in Madagascar today.
